<p>The Government supports the sharing economy and the benefits it can bring. However,
it is also aware of concerns about the uneven regulatory requirements in the guest
accommodation sector, and possible negative impacts on some local communities compared
to other types of accommodation.</p><p>In June, DCMS issued a Call for Evidence on
the benefits and challenges presented by the rise in short-term and holiday letting
seen in England over the last 10 to 15 years.</p><p>The Call for Evidence closed on
21 September and we are now carefully analysing the 4,000 responses we received. The
analysis of the responses will inform the next steps, and we will look to provide
updates to the sector in due course.</p>
